90-91 vs 92-96 Instrument Clusters - Page 4 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

So here we are with the LCD screens (module) swapped. Working nicely. I decided to simply deactivate the “Door Ajar” light rather than messing with the PC board, given my limited soldering skills. Taking the LCD screen out was straight forward following the instructions posted on Batee.com.

The connector simply unplugs. There is some gentle finesse required in prying the screen connector prongs out. Once started they come apart easily. Then the screen is tilted forward at the top and up and out. Attached are some photos of the LCD screen itself. The two version appear to be identical to the naked eye. The difference is in the printed circuitry at the top.

Now I am debating again on swapping to White lettering, but I like the grey.. There is a challenge with it.. I can do grey, vents and console, all black and whit control faces, some grey buttons on things.. ( like the locks and possible Cruise control Switch)

the DIC overlay would be grey with a mix of black and white. same with the head light switch..
